Speaker 1: the same time tonight at the same time. Yeah, exactly,

20
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: multicast time favorite pick so far this year of all,

21
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: your Reggie Bush in the third round. To me, he's

22
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: a hybrid guy, running back, wide receiver. That's a solid PIP.

23
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: I got Mendenhall in art Experts League in the tenth

24
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,840

00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: League in the seventh round. So that is your favorite. Alright.

26
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: Let's get to our latest headlines. With the season's opening

27
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: kick inching closer and closer. Thank you money. I'm joined

28
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: by raining Experts League champion Adam rank. Enjoy those accolades,

29
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: because I'm in the league now, all right, and I'm

30
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: the big fantasy news of the day comes from Oakland,

31
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: Believe it or not, NFL Networks Ian Rapp Report reports

32
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: that Raiders players have been informed that Terrelle Pryor will

33
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: be the team's Week one starter, not Matt Flynn. Adam,

34
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: What does this mean for fantasy owners? It shouldn't mean much. Now.

35
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: I know everybody's gonna be excited about a running quarterback

36
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: and what he could mean. But the great thing about

37
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: the fantasy season in two thousand and thirteen is that

38
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: there's such great depth at quarterback. You don't need to

39
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: take a chance, and a guy like Terrell Prior just

40
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: watch him throw the ball a couple of times. You'll

41
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: quickly get off the bandwagon. So this is something. It's

42
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: a nice story, but don't worry about it. Don't go

43
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: pick him up. Stick with your established guys. Another quarterback

44
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: we've talked about quite a bit. Redskins head coach Mike

45
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: Shanahan also confirmed his starter, the worst kept secret in football,

46
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: r G three will start for their home opener against

47
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: the Eagles. Shanahan says he's good to go, but our

48
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: fantasy owners safe to start him at him absolutely, I'm

49
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: all in start him. The worst thing you can do

50
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: is second guest yourself here, because r G three is

51
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: an explosive player. If you saw him last year, he

52
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: was one of the leading quarterbacks and fantasy football. The

53
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: worst thing you can do is put him on your

54
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: bench and have him go out and play the Eagles,

55
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 1: get into a shootout, get into one of those huge

56
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: just scoring opportunities, have him score close to twenty five

57
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: fantasy points and have them be on your bench. Don't

58
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: do not do that to yourself. No mistakes of overthinking

59
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: it all right. Pittsburgh Steeler's head coach Mike Tomlin has

60
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 1: confirmed that running back Isaac Redman will get the nod

61
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: in Week one. Is he a viable fantasy starter? I

62
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: really don't like Isaac Redmond. It still looks like it's

63
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: going to be a fifty fifty split. They still got

64
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: Felix Jones there, so he doesn't look like a guy

65
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: you can count on to be an RV one and

66
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: RV two, even as a flex guy. I don't like

67
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: it the thing to look for, Lady on Bell. Hopefully

68
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: he's on your roster. If he for some reason he

69
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: wasn't picked up in your draft, make sure he's on

70
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: your roster. He's gonna be back sooner than me anticipate.

71
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: He's the guy to like Redmond. I would leave on

72
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: your beach, primed to be a stud. This year, the

73
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: Dolphins continue listing running back Lamar Miller ahead of Daniel

74
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: Thomas on their depth chart, despite a rocky summer for

75
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: the Miami native. So Adam, the great Miami running back

76
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: dilemma appears to be over. Yeah, and it was good.

77
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: It was good for people like you because you were

78
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: able to draft Lamar Miller I was as your flex

79
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: option about my team today. I am extremely nervous about

80
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: You've got Adrian Peterson, You've got Steve Jackson, Lamar Miller.

81
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: He's a great flex option to understood. He had a

82
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: couple of slow starts here in the preseason, bumbled the

83
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: first time he got the ball that worked out well

84
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: for you. He fell in draft boards. He's about where

85
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: he should be. He's a good flex option al right.

86
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: Despite a band up bright knee, Cardinals running back Rochard

87
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: Mendenhall has been confirmed as the starter in Sunday's opener

88
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: versus the Rams. Bruce Arian says he's good to go.

89
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: How worried should Mendenhall's owners be about his durability? Well,

90
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: you're always gonna be concerned about a running backs durability.

91
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: It's everybody, Adrian Peterson on down through everybody else. It

92
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. The thing that concerns me about menden Hall

93
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: this week is the matchup. St. Louis has a pretty

94
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 1: strong defense. But the one thing you do gotta like

95
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: about Richard Mendenhall, he's a number one non committee back.

96
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: Very rare in the NFL these days. Great insight. Thank

97
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: you for that vote of confidence. In one last note here,

98
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: Giants running back Andre Brown will be stashed on the

99
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: short term i R. He'll be eligible to return mid

100
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 1: season and can begin practicing in week six. Now sad

101
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: this worry David Wilson owners eventually, but don't don't do

102
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: this to yourself. You know what everybody loves. Relax now,

103
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: this is this is what you and I are doing. Well,

104
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: we'll worry about this. We'll keep you guys up to

105
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: date on that stuff. Worry about that in week ten

106
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: when he comes back. Enjoy David Wilson right now. Because

107
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: his value went up with Andre Brown being out, David

108
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: Wilson will now see a majority of the carries in

109
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: the red zone. So that's good. Just enjoy it now, don't. Well, well,

110
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: we'll take care of that stuff, you guys. Relax, Enjoy

111
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: David Wills. That's what you're here for. All right. That'll

112
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: do it for us. Back to you guys with more.

113
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: All right, thank you. Here's a look at Michael Fabiano's

114
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 1: top ten players to pick up. All of these guys

115
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: owned in less than NFL dot com leads exactly FABS

116
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: who deserves a spot When you look at this list

117
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: on somebody's roster. You know exactly what I'm saying. How

118
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: do you keep this fight two years ago of Tin

119
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: Tebow and Tin Tebow is not a good quarterback in

120
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 1: reality for a fantasy show. No, he did not. He

121
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: had more than see the Pittsburgh sas and playoffs and

122
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: ask you one question, is he a complete quarterback? I

123
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: need to be a complete quarterback fantasy because he runs

124
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: with the football. Understand he could throw for two hundred

125
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: yards a game or less and still score. Even if

126
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: we take the Tim Tebow conversation. It was a dominant defense,

127
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: a magnificent offensive line, a great running game. The Raiders

128
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: are a hot and they're going to have to come down,

129
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: and he's gonna have a lot of garbage time points

130
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: allow Carson Palmer last, So you'll take him over Carson

131
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: Palmer right now, both those names over Jay Cutler right now. Absolutely. Wow.

132
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: You know that hasn't been good fantasy I can. I'll

133
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: tell you one guy that surprised me on that list.

134
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: That's Isaac Redman. When I look at Isaac Redman, he

135
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: is now the starter. How do you have a starter

136
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: sitting out there in free agency? You gotta go pick

137
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 1: him up because look, I know he wasn't very impressive

138
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: in Week one, will he was named the starter last season,

139
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: But I really do believe that he has an opportunity

140
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: now to really go out there and make that case.

141
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: He's a guy that's not gonna be your one or

142
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: two running back. He's a guy that you can have

143
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: on your bench and at least know that you can

144
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: play him in situational football, unlike Isaac red. Yeah, and

145
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: we'll get back to talent in the meantime. Cheer me

146
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: up a little Kenbrell Tompkins here. Look, I know the

147
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: depth chart is out for Bill Belichick and the Patriots

148
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: and you have Julian Edelman and Danny Mundela listed as

149
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: your starting wide receivers. Are starting slot receiver looks to

150
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: be Matthew Slater according to the depth chart. But understand

151
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: Kenball Tompkins and what he is and how he arrived

152
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: there as an undrafted free agent on Cincinnati missed an

153
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: entire season with an injury. He is big, he is fast,

154
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: and I know it's the preseason, but playing with the ones,

155
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: ken Brell Tompkins showed out and after Week one against

156
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: the Bills when they put up forty five points in

157
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: that game. Ken Brell Tompkins will be off the waiver

158
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: wire to the team that performed the worst. Do not

159
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: allow that to happen. Get him right now. Yeah, I

160
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: couldn't agree with you more. This is a kid, again

161
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: undrafted out of Cincinnati, who showed a lot of flashes

162
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: of potential in the preseason. Forget about the Patriots depth chart.

163
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 1: It's unofficial as far as im and it's bill I

164
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: would check and with workI ride receivers here, fabs you

165
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: like you like Houston Texas there. Huh Yeah, DeAndre Hopkins

166
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: needs to be owned in more than just fifty percent

167
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: fantasy leagues. This is a kid who did have a

168
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: concussion in the preseason, but he's been cleared now he's

169
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: fine for Week one. They're playing against the Sandego Chargers

170
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: on Sunday night. Now, I'm not telling you to go

171
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: out and start Hopkins, but upside. I preach upside to

172
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: fantasy owners all the time, and guys out there, this

173
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: kid has a lot of upside. And remember Andre Johnson

174
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: is still the clear cut number one, but he certainly

175
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: could be made in argument that he's passed from don't

176
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: see that guy jumping out late getting hop trying to

177
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 1: get Hopkins when everybody's right now picking him up with

178
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: the weiver. Be the guy in front of that horse

179
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: and go get DeAndre Hopkins four hundred yards last year

180
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: with an injured Sammy Watkins down at Clemson. He's gonna

181
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: have a big impact this season opposite Andre Johnson. How

182
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: about Quiz Rogers. You know, I love the Quiz Rogers

183
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: because when you look at the Atlanta Falcons, you look

184
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: at the type offense. They're gonna run the four and

185
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: five wide receivers. Said, but they have a dominant running

186
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: back in Steven Jackson. So you look at even Jackson

187
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: now all of a sudden and you've got these running,

188
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 1: these wide receivers out. Ja Quiz Roger is gonna be

189
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: one of those wide receivers and it's gonna allow those

190
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: things to open up in the passing game. Ja Quiz

191
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 1: Roger last season targeted fifty seven times. That's a lot

192
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: of target for running back, and I think that's gonna

193
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: increase with the amount of weapons path This is great.

194
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: We gotta get back to here here. Here's I guess

195
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: bigger picture for me with Terrell Prior He's not a

196
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: Dennis Allen guy. He's not a Reggie mackenzie guy. They

197
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: inherited him. Al Davis, he is a playmaker, a fox

198
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: inherited Ticktim. I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say one thing

199
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 1: to your point. I know this for sure. Al Davis

200
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: is a visionary. Maybe he saw something or was a visionary.

201
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: He saw something that we didn't see. But I just

202
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: gotta say that. Terrell Prior, though, has not come full

203
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: circle yet. How about this FEPS Terrell Prior puts in

204
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:51,599
Speaker 1: big work in Fantasy this year. Tattoos on me. I

205
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: think you're gonna get the tastic tantoo. I'm puying a

206
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: tattoo for you, not a tattoo. I'll pay for it.

207
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: Still the com Mike go Babby out on the man,

208
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: all Right says, starting one of these, I wouldn't desecrate

209
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: this beautiful body and peace receivers will win him His

210
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: Experts League matchup this week Stevie Johnson or Marcus Colston

211
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: his answer coming up, plus our matchups to take advantage

212
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: of in week one just a few minutes away. We

213
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: are getting set to have dominate your Fantasy league right

214
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: out the gate. When NFL Fantasy Live returns, Jacoby Jones

215
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: comes again, rights, I never get into the Zonies, caught

216
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: to its Bael Fate, Thomas picks the Cats in the Zots,

217
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 1: down Rice sets and throw checker white touchdown did for

218
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 1: lack of rose deep mars side line and Bob Jones

219
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: had Welcome back to NFL Fantasy Live. The Ravens and

220
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: Broncos kick off season and just about two days, which

221
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: means you only have a few more hours to decide

222
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: who you'll start and who'll ride the line for your

223
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: fantasy team in Week one FABS, At this point in

224
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 1: the season, is it better to start your starters or

225
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: to play the matchup? It's always best to start your studs,

226
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: There's no way around that. Unless you're playing a defense

227
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: like the Tampa Buccaneers, then you're playing the matchups. But

228
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: you drafted your guys in the first five or six

229
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 1: rounds to sit them all of a sudden, No, you

230
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 1: play him? Yeah, Week one is way too early to

231
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: get cute with things, and you know you're at ray

232
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 1: Rice going on Thursday night. You might look at the matchup,

233
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: you might be a little fearful. But if you drafted

234
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 1: him in the first round, which most people did you

235
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 1: start Ray Rice. Don't mess around with it, don't. It

236
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: reminds me of that classic Simpsons episode where Montgomery Burns

237
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: has Darryl Strawberry going up, but he wants to Benjamin

238
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: put in Homer Simpson because he wants the right he

239
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: left man. Don't do that. I'm glad you brought up

240
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: ray Rice because there was a moment last year, and

241
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: you're right about it. So early, we don't know what

242
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 1: the Niners defense is gonna look like without Isaac Silkwaga

243
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 1: in there in the middle. But ray Rice in the

244
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: middle of the season faced the Texans defense that had

245
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 1: shut down everyone, and what it did? What do they do?

246
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: They shut down ray Rice? Week one is the key

247
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: and you look at the matchups this week and you

248
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: have the Niners hosting the Packers. I wouldn't start any Lacy.

249
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: You have the Texan hosting the Chargers. I would not

250
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,599
Speaker 1: start Ryan Matthews. I think those are the matchups that

251
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: you can play. You're right about the Studs in week one.

252
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: Let those trends develop, but there are some like Giovanni

253
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: Bernard against the Bears. Absolutely, I would not start them

254
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: with those matchups is I completely agree with you, but

255
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: I'm talking about guys that you dropped in the first

256
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 1: five rounds. Aaron Rodgers is terrible matchup, but you have

257
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: to pay it. But here's what I say. I really

258
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: do believe you want to play the matchups. And I

259
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: got that same situation going up with my team in

260
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: the NFL Fantasy Live crew. And if you look at

261
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: my board here, I mean, I've got Michael Vick here starting,

262
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: and guess who my bench quarterback is, the guy who

263
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 1: I took uh in early with Cam Newton. And I

264
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: look at the matchups and I see, you know, Cam

265
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: Newton who went up against the Seattle Seahawks last year

266
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 1: in Week five had zero touchdowns twelve completion for hundred

267
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: and forty one yards. So I'm looking at that. I'm going,

268
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: you know what I'm going with Mike Vick. Michael Vick

269
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: has gotta be the guy to me, Dolly, don't come

270
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: to the goad the corporal robs the rights. I never

271
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: said block into the end zone. He goes Cad Tori's

272
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: fat in special for Faith, Thomas takes to itsdown rise

273
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: sets and throw checker. Why don't you touchdowns? Ros Martie,

274
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: we'll come back to NFL Fantasy Live. The Ravens and

275
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: Broncos kick off season in just about two days, which

276
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: means you only have a few more hours to decide

277
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: who you'll start and who will ride the pine for

278
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: your fantasy team in week one. So at this point

279
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: in the season, FABS, is it better to trust your

280
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: best players or to play the matchup? You trust your

281
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: best players. You drafted these guys in one of the

282
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: first five rounds, not to put them on your bench,

283
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: but to play them. I'm already getting people on Twitter

284
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: who are asking me, Peyton Manning has had a tough matchup.

285
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: Do I play Eli Manning instead? No? I understand, but

286
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: you're making it too difficult for yourself. But you've got

287
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning, you know. But it's one of those decisions where,

288
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: and you like to say this, you take away the

289
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: responsibility layer doesn't play well. You played the right guy. Yes,

290
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: I can explain that too. But when you get to

291
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: this point of this season, it's very early. It's week one.

292
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: You drafted somebody late that you feel very good about,

293
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: and you're excited about it. You're like, oh, I look

294
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: at ray Rice, he's got a tough matchup. You know what,

295
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: maybe I'll keep him on the bench and I'll have

296
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: this fly by night guy that I drafted. But don't

297
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: do that to yourself, avoid the responsibility if ray Rice

298
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: doesn't play well. Yeah, you know, I'm glad you brought

299
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: up ray Rice, though. This was a conversation we had

300
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: last year when Rice was playing the Texans and they

301
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: were by far and away. I think it was like

302
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: week seven or eight, the best run d in the league,

303
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: and he didn't produce. Now it's I mean we had

304
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: that in other occasions, and the stars do produce. There

305
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: are borderline r B two's that are going this week,

306
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: Ryan Matthews against the Texans, Any Lacy against the Niners.

307
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: Those are the guys that you sit when it comes

308
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: to having a decision. And and it's six of one,

309
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: half dozen of the younger and but Aaron Rodgers has

310
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: a tough matchup in the Niners, And you'd be foolish

311
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: to bench Aaron Rodgers in your case where you've got

312
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: Any Lacey, Giovanni Bernard. You know those kind of guys.

313
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: We don't know what they are yet, So you play

314
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: the match up for those players. I say you play

315
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: the matchups. I really do. I believe that. You know,

316
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: you look at my board. I've got the same scenario

317
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: going on right now in our fantasy draft, or excuse me,

318
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: in our fantasy team with my team, and I've got

319
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: Michael vicktor drafted in the tenth round. But I've got

320
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: another quarterback who's on my bench right now, and that's

321
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, who I drafted in the fifth round. And

322
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: that's because when I look at the matchup, he's going

323
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: up against the Seattle Seahawns. I look back to last

324
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: week last season, Week five, he had zero touchdowns, a

325
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: hundred forty one yards and twelve completion. I mean he

326
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: was shut down. That was the only game that he

327
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: didn't have a touchdown. But I look at Michael Vick.

328
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: What did he do back in that two thousand ten

329
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: You remember that it doesn't matter Michael Vick going up

330
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: Washington and they have no idea. You know, there's this

331
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: cation point the guy who fell in love with his

332
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: tenth round pick. Now, want to let me tell you

333
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: one thing that I know for sure. I played against

334
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: Michael Vick, and I know what he's capable of doing.

335
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: And I know Chip telling his offense. And when a

336
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: defense has never seen, never ever seen against you very hard,

337
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: such a good game. No, he's just really good. He's

338
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 1: really good. Alright, Alright, guys, awkward is getting a little heated.

339
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 1: We agree to disagree. But for arguments, say Michael experience,

340
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 1: I've used them on Bett and plenty of time. Alright, guys,

341
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: for argument's sake, if we are playing Week one matchups,

342
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 1: one that you really like is Andrew Luck, who should

343
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: likely tear up the Raiders like and it's hard for

344
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: me to say this because of course, you know I

345
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 1: played with the Oakland Raiders. But let me tell you,

346
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck is going to have a field date. He's

347
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: married now back with this guy, Pep Hamilton's offensive coordinator

348
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: from Stanford, and I just know that they're going to

349
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 1: not only commit themselves to the run game, but it's

350
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: gonna allow that pass game to open up because they've

351
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 1: got legitimate threats there in the backfield. One of the

352
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 1: guys that I like on that board Matt Ryan going

353
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: up against the New Orleans saying to last year, we're

354
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: awful against the past, and how do they try to

355
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: fix that. They brought in Rob Ryan, which means another

356
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 1: stellar performance upcoming for Matt Ryan. And if you looked

357
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 1: at it, last year he towards the Saints and especially

358
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 1: at the superdo Actually, and his last two appearances in

359
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 1: New Orleans he's had at least three hundred seventy yards.

360
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 1: You just saw the graphic right there. Just high scoring game.

361
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a high scoring game. Fantasy finanza

362
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 1: between the Falcons and I never played against Stephen Ridley.

363
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 1: I have been to buffle up before, and I enjoy

364
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: the Anchor Bar Wings. Ridley versus the Bills is fantasy gold.

365
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. Two games last season, very similar defense. Sure,

366
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: it's a new coach and Doug maroneyse how good can

367
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: he be? But last year, how about Ridley? In those

368
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 1: two games two d four yards, three touchdowns. It is

369
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: a lot for him to put up big numbers this week. Yeah,

370
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: And of course I'm gonna talk about Lamar Miller. I've

371
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: been talking about him the entire preseason. And one of

372
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: the things that I liked about him was the easiest

373
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: schedule based on fantasy points of my running backs and

374
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: guests who he plays in a week one the Cleveland Browns,

375
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,479
Speaker 1: who gave up an a run twenty fantasy points per

376
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: game two opposing running backs last season. Lamar Miller is

377
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: not a one, He's not a two. But I'll tell

378
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 1: you right now, he is a gang busters flex start

379
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: this week. I love the matchup. He may be the

380
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: only Miami Dolphin to produce in that offense because the

381
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 1: Browns they're pretty good against the past, especially on their

382
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: home turf. Yeah, that secondary and that got awful offensive

383
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 1: line of the Miami Dolphins in past protection. I'm gonna

384
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 1: go to another running back and that's Maurice Jones. Drew

385
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 1: a lot of us dinging Moury Stones threw in the

386
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 1: draft process. This is a great matchup for him. Yes,

387
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: Kansas City has a bunch of Pro bowlers and new

388
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: coaching staff. Big things are expected from them. They were

389
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: horrible against the run last year, and you look at

390
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: marias Jones drew in those six games. He played a

391
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,959
Speaker 1: lot of them against really good run defenses. Houston, Cincinnati,

392
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: Chicago didn't produce the one bad run defense the Colts.

393
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: What do you do a hundred seventy seven yards and

394
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: a touchdown? I expect big things from I like what

395
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 1: you're cooking there. With m D Now I'm gonna pull

396
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: out another play card having played against him. He's a

397
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 1: guy that can hide behind an offensive lineman better than

398
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: any running back in the league. Were are talking about

399
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: the Colts Darren McFadden going up against them this week.

400
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: I like that matchup. I don't like Darren McFadden is

401
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: the number two. He's two injury prone and if you

402
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: drafted him as a number two, I feel bad for you.

403
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: Probably shouldn't have done that. I got him as a

404
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: flex guy in our nfl a M league. This is

405
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 1: the perfect spot for him. I'm looking for about eight

406
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 1: to ten games that he can come through. But there's

407
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 1: not a lot. There's not a lot of There's not

408
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 1: a lot of options for the Raiders. There really isn't.

409
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 1: Darren McFadden has to be their offense. Love him as

410
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: a flex guy. He's gonna come out with a bang.

411
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: He's in a contract here, lots of good things. Just

412
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: give me a couple of good games Darren starting right now.

413
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 1: The guys fabs money. You're for playing your starters, not

414
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: getting qute you two. If we are playing the match up,

415
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: some good options there when we come back. Sydney Rice

416
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: tells us what it's like playing in the rough and

417

Speaker 1: tumble NFC West find out why he thinks the Seahawks

00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: notch here at NFL dot com with our Perfect Challenge

425
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 1: game FABS. The rules are pretty simple. Tell us how

426
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 1: it works. Yeah, basically, you're going to set a starting

427
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 1: lineup every single week, the best starting lineup you can

428
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: set and choose players from any team. Build your perfect

429
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: lineup weekend and week out. And if you pick the

430
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: perfect lineup, which means you pick every player at every

431
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 1: position who has the most points that week, you can

432
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: win a cool million dollars. And there's a few things

433
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 1: I could do with a million dollars. I think you think, oh,

434
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 1: no doubt about it, FABS. If it don't make dollars,

435
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: it don't make sense. All right, We've had the perfect

436
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: experts here. So let's assemble the perfect team. We all

437
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: want that cool mill as you mentioned, and let's start

438
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 1: with quarterbacks. You like Breeze against the Falcons. Yeah, Drew

439
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: Brees going up against Atlanta. That is gonna be a

440
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: barn burner. There's gonna be a lot of points scored

441
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,880
Speaker 1: in this contest. And Drew Brees against Atlanta ten touchdown

442
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 1: passes in his last three home games against them. And

443
00:21:58,520 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: I can tell you something right now, I could see

444
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: this game going thirty five thirty and absolute Morgue board

445
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 1: of points, both in reality and in fantasy. I don't

446
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: I'm their estimate. Sean Payton coming back, He's gonna be

447
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 1: highly motivated to beat the Falcons. Huge game, and uh fabs.

448
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: You also like Shady McCoy to get chip Kelly's tenure

449
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: off to a good start in Philly. Yeah, a favorite

450
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: of our own, Adam Rank. And it's really hard not

451
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: to like the Sean McCoy when you look at what

452
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,719
Speaker 1: running backs did in Chip Kelly's offense there in Oregon.

453
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: Just look at Michael James's numbers. The Redskins defense is

454
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: suspect at best. And hey, this adds a little more

455
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: fun to your Monday night affairs, because they're going up

456
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 1: against the Skins on Monday Night football. If we're playing

457
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 1: for a mill I'm gonna kick it up a notch.

458
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 1: I'll go at the other running back, Freddie Morris huge.

459
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 1: I like both these guys. I look at this as

460
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: a pack twelve type of game for Chip Kelly's first

461
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 1: here in the NFL fifty two, running the ball all

462
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 1: over the place. Throw out the I'm gonna whatever cliches

463
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: you want to put out there, barn Burner, throw out

464
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: the record books, this, that and the other. Alfred Moore,

465
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:01,959
Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy, go with him. And as you said, it's

466
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 1: a Monday night game, you'll you'll do the whole weekend.

467
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 1: You won't have lost. I'm still stuck on Freddie. I

468
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: like that. I like that you call him Freddie. All right,

469
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: let's go wide receiver in one. Calvin Johnson. You can't

470
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 1: go wrong with Megatron. Now, let's just do that each

471
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: and every week. Just go out and put Calvin Johnson,

472
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 1: and there's the best. He's the best receiver and fantasy no, no,

473
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 1: if you want to get cute, you want to find

474
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: somebody else to put in there. Because it's not always

475
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: gonna be a big name guy. Fine, make that your

476
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 1: number two guy, Calvin Johnson each and every week. Because

477
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: nobody throws the ball more than the Detroit Lions. Calvin Johnson,

478
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: of course is going to be the recipient of that.

479
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: Plus he's gonna score more than five touchdowns this year.

480
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 1: I forget what happened last year. Calvin Johnson is going

481
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: to be a monster. This should be automatic to slug

482
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: him into your lineup each and every week. Fantasy think

483
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 1: it'll be a shootout in Dallas as well. You're going

484
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: de Brian. I do. I love Dez Brian. I think

485
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: he could surpass Calvin Johnson from a Fantasy points perspective

486
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: at the wide receiver position this year. That has shootout

487
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: written all over it. In that contest a big NFC

488
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: East till Tony Romo loves to play against the Giants.

489
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: And I can tell you something right now, that secondary

490
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: has question marks and Romo and des Bryant, they are

491
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: on the same page right now. The rapport is big

492
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: time there with these two players. Tony Romo, start him

493
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: in your fantasy football league on NFL dot com. Does

494
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 1: Bryant start him in your perfect challenge. Speaking of being

495
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 1: on the same page, if we're going Drew Brees, why

496
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: not go the number one tight end in Jimmy Graham. Absolutely,

497
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: If you're gonna go with Calvin Johnson each and every week,

498
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 1: go ahead and put Jimmy Graham in your lineup each

499
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 1: and every week. Is a tight end. He is going

500
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: to by far be the best tight end. I mean

501
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,360
Speaker 1: the drop off from Jimmy Graham to the number two guy.

502
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 1: I think the number two guy could be Vernon Davis

503
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,360
Speaker 1: as a quick aside, but Jimmy Graham is so much

504
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: better than the other players. He's like a wide receiver

505
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: one each and every week. Don't try to gas, Don't

506
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: put in Jordan Now, no, no, do the right thing.

507
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: Put in Jimmy Graham each and every him and Calvin Johnson.

508
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 1: I would even say Drew Brees. Those should be your

509
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: three automatics every week. No brainer. All right? In traditional fantasy,

510
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: you guys don't pay too much attention to defense. But

511
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 1: where should we go here? Well, I'm going with the

512
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: Patriots because they're playing the Bills and the Bills offense

513
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: or another and it's going to be a rookie quarterback

514
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: under either one of those guys. But the Patriots they

515
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: might not have the best defense in reality standpoint, but

516
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: in a fantasy standpoint, they're always in the top ten.

517
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: They're very good. Look for turnovers to be galore in

518
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 1: this game, especially the Bills turning it over to the Patriots,

519
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: and I think the p Men could have a few

520
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: sacks in this contest. There so some question marks about

521
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: the Buffalo offensive line, and you could even see a

522
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 1: touchdown or two from the New England defense. This is

523
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: a great play, all right, gentlemen, I'm feeling good about

524
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: our team. Take a look at that. They're Cole mill

525
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 1: in my pocket pretty soon. That's our Week one Perfect

Speaker 1: Challenge drawstore courtesy of FABS and Adam Rank. For another

527
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: look in a different way to play fantasy football and

528
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com, let's send it over to Money and

529

Speaker 1: Fantasy Live Experts League, Drew Brees and Calvin Johnson every week.

532
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: This guy right here has both. We're talking about a

533
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: different way to play fantasy football or a fantasy game

534
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 1: on NFL dot Com. It's the simplest of them all.

535

Speaker 1: It's our weekly pick them game available at NFL dot Com.

536
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 1: Fantasy couldn't be easier. Pick the winner of each game,

537
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 1: compete against your friends NFL dot Com and NFL Network experts.

538
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 1: So right here, Akbar, let's take a look at a

539
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: couple of the marquee games this week. The Thursday Nighter

540
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 1: Broncos versus the Super Bowl champion Baltimore. Ravens, Well, this

541
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: one is the easy one from me. I have to

542
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: go with who else the Denver Broncos. And it's because

543
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: you're looking at Paidon Manning now going into this system,

544
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 1: now into the second year with this with these guys.

545
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 1: He's got Eric Decker, He've now added a new weapon

546
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 1: with Wes Walker sold those guys are going to dominate

547
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: the passing game, the running game. Yeah, a little iffy,

548
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: but I don't know that this Baltimore has a defense season.

549
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 1: They don't have an identity yet because there's been a

550
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: lot of turnover. Yeah, and certainly you think back to

551
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 1: the playoff game raheem more the slip up love you

552
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 1: raheem u c l A Bruins Go Bruins, But that

553
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 1: it's not gonna happen a second time. So I too

554
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: will take the Broncos, the Niners, and the Packers probably

555
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 1: the game of the day on Sunday out at Candlestick.

556
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: I'll actually be up there calling that game. So akbar

557
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,360
Speaker 1: Niners or Packers. This one is easy to me. This defense,

558
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 1: to me, yeah, this defense to me is a lot

559
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: better than the Green Bay Packers defense. So that excuse

560
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: me offense. And so when you look at that the

561
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 1: matchup from matchup, I like this team to really dominate

562
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and company defensively. So I think that that

563
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 1: edge goes to the San Francisco forty nine. And I

564
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 1: understand Rookie left tangled David Bakti for the Packers. But

565
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 1: at the same time, I'm gonna roll Aaron Rodgers here.

566
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna ride the steady vet and imagine that

567
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: the Packers gonna get off to a good start. I'll

568
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: go with the upset upset on the road, and the

569
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 1: Packers taking out the Niners. Now, let's give the people

570
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 1: some locks. A lock of the week, just the one

571
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: game you cannot get wrong. Well, you can't get the

572
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: Patriots wrong. Patriots against the Buffalo Bills. You look why

573
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: they have EJ. Manuel as their quarterback or Jeff Tool

574
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: both guys or rookie quarterbacks. I don't know that a

575
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback can succeed against Bill Belichick and his savvy defense.

576
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 1: Either mean, this defense is gonna run circle around this

577
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 1: Buffalo offense. I like these guys to win it, no

578
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: doubt about it. They're gonna win. Yeah, and just go ahead,

579
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: and did I mention? I'm sorry I started to cut

580
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 1: you off. Tom Brady. There, I can't go. My lock

581
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 1: of the week, the Texans over the Chargers. This is

582
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 1: an easy one. You look at that defense. J J. Watt,

583
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: Bryant Cushion, DJ Swyringer is a bad, bad man and

584
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: they will run rough shot over that San Diego offensive line.

585
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: Waste no time. Click on the Texans. You're good to go.

586
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: Upset Special. Well, you know what, I'm gonna keep beating

587
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 1: this name down because I think everyone should know this

588
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: name very well. Chip Kelly and the Philadelphia Eagles. I'm

589
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,880
Speaker 1: calling them to beat Robert Griffin and the Washington Redskins

590
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: because Michael Vick and this offense is going to explode

591
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 1: on this team. I don't know that they're gonna have

592
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: a defense to really stop them. Imagine if this team,

593
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: of course, sprinkles in the read option, I don't know

594
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: that they're gonna handle that. A rack boll is not

595
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: gonna be able to touch big because then you have

596
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:48,959
Speaker 1: Shady McCoy that you can jump off too. He's got

597
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: his receivers. These guys are gonna be locked and loaded,

598
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: and I think they're gonna upset the Washington Redskins. And

599
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: when that NFC East team and my upset special, I

600
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: will head to the Windy City Chicago playing host to

601
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 1: the Bengals, and maybe I've fallen in a love with

602
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: a couple of these characters. Courtesy of Hard Knocks. I

603
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: love the continuity though, the continuity with with Zimm's continuity

604
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: with Marvin Lewis that defense could be the number one

605
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 1: defense in the NFL this season. Geno Atkins up front,

606
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: you look at the linebacking corps, Vontes Bervick again a

607
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: bad bad man, and George I Loca, even though he's

608
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: not smart enough to not punch guys in the head

609
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: when they're wearing a helmet and breaks his hand. Kind

610
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: of a boise the state as well. So I go

Speaker 1: seem yesterday We're off yesterday. So I'm gonna go up

627
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: in this office and you know, trying to try to

628
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: take something out of there, maybe his book with Forever

629
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: Very good now let's cut to the chase. How's the

630

Speaker 1: new feeling you guys good? Are you gonna be ready

631
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: for week one? Yes? No question? Um, I think our

632
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: trainers did a tremendous job monitoring meet throughout the preseason. Um,

633
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 1: feeling pretty good. Actually just came off the field from

634
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: running routes and getting sprints, says, So I'll be ready

635
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: for this week. Um. I don't think I'll be going

636
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: today during practice, but I'll get started up Wednesday. Did

637
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: you see here? You just look took a look at

638
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 1: your schedule San Francisco and week two? How hard is

639
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: it not to look ahead of that game? I have

640
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: no deal who you're talking about week two? It doesn't

641
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: even matter to be right now. Uh. I learned something

642
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: when I was in college from coach Luhotz huh, and

643
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: it was win. What's important now and the thing that's

644
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: important now. As Carolina Panthers last season, the Seattle Seahawks

645
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: finished third in rushing in two thousand thirteen. Will we

646
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: be able to identify the Seahawks as a rushing first

647
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: team again? No question. That's our foundation. You gotta have

648
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: a solid foundation and knowledge is the run game bringing

649
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: Coach Kaplin He's done a tremendous job with the run game,

650
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: installing plays. Uh, if I'm not mistaken, we had the

651
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: most Russis as a football team last year. So you

652
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: know you gotta start right there, and that's just gonna

653
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: open up the player. I shouldn't be able to hit

654
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: some big explosive players down the field, which we're looking

655
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: forward to a receiver this year. Talk about Russell Wilson,

656
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 1: what can we expect from him in his second season.

657
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: I will say the same thing you've seen throughout the

658
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: second half of the season last year. Um, Russell is

659
00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: a tremendous leader. UH has a great voice in locker room. Um,

660
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: he wants to win. His work ethic has been the

661
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: same every since he stepped foot into this building. So

662
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: we're gonna call on him to lead this offense. UH,

663
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 1: make the right play calls out there on the field,

664
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: and get us what we need to be at the

665
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: end of the season. So you say, as he walked

666
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: into the building, it's still the same because last year

667
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: he was competing against Matt Flynn going up this year,

668
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: he didn't have the competition of trying to win seat

669
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 1: and already established number one quarterback. But you're saying he's

670
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: just in cent. He's exactly the same. His work ethic

671
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: didn't drop any his film study, nothing like that. He's

672
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: still in here on this off day, he's watching film preparing,

673
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: still sitting out the group text messages, UM of our

674
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: opponents we actually got this morning. So he goes through

675
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: the whole chart, lining up the secondary, the linebackers. UM,

676
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: what do you think we need to do throughout? Just

677
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: all in the text mrs. So that's how we started

678
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: every weekend is here now ready to roll? And one

679
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: last question. It seems like the NFC West, you guys

680
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: have so many great defenses. You face Arizona, Set Louis,

681
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: obviously San Francisco. Would you say the NFC West is

682
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: the toughest division in the NFL right now? Why not?

683
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: As you mentioned, we've got a lot of great defenses,

684
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: UM to the top powerhouses in the whole league. Uh,

685
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: with ourselves in the Forts and UM. Arizona made some

686
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: great additionce to their to the UM team this year

687
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: as well as the St. Louis RAM. So it's gonna

688
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: be a very tough division. You gotta take it one

689
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: game at a time, and you need all your comverence

690
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: games in the covers. Well, good luck to you, Sydney,

691
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: thanks for joining us here today. Thank you, thank you

692
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: for having me. All Right, he's Sydney Rice. I'm Adam

693
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 1: Rank and Matt let's send it back to you, all right,

694
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: Thank you, Adam. If you want more Sydney Rice, and

695
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: you want to see what in the world he was

696
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: doing with Snoop Dogg earlier this offseason, check out the

697
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: rest of that interview at NFL dot com Slash Videos. Fabs,

698
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: you're here to make a pitch. You want to pitch

699
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: why you will deserve the Lenovo Fantasy Coach of the

700
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: Week designation after Week one an our NFL Fantasy Live

701
00:33:55,880 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: Experts League. Well, why do you believe you deserve this

702
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: noble honor? Good sir, Well, first of all, let's start

703
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: off with the fact that I've got a pretty good

704
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: starting lineup. So not only am I gonna what was

705
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: that looks? Not only am I gonna be a good coach,

706
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: I'm also clearly doing pretty well as a jam with

707
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, Chris Johnson, Arian Foster, a lot of Saints

708
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: on that board, so you know I'm gonna be paying

709
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 1: attention to new Orleans an Atlantic game this weekend. Now

710
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:24,959
Speaker 1: the coaching move that I made. Of course, you're gonna

711
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,280
Speaker 1: stick with your studs, but I want with Stevie Johnson

712
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 1: on the bench this week Now. Stevie Johnson seems like

713
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: he's got a good matchup against the Patriots that we're

714
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 1: not good against past defense. They were not a good

715
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 1: past defense last season, but untily scored one touchdown in

716
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: four career home games against the Patriots. And I don't

717
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:42,879
Speaker 1: like the fact that it's going to be either one

718
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: rookie E. J. Manuel or another rookie Jeff Toole, throwing

719
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,839
Speaker 1: them the football. This is the situation to avoid. That's

720
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: why I am benching Stevie Johnson and I am starting

721
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: Dwayne Ball and always worth pointing out at rookie left

722
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 1: tackle as well in Cortie Glenn, so a rookie quarterback,

723
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: rookie left tackle, and this is the defense they'll be facing. Yeah,

724
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 1: and the Patriots defense much better in fantasy than in reality.

725
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: But I gotta feel in this game is going to

726
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: be a mess. The Patriots defense is going to be

727
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: a very good start from a fantasy perspective. The Bill's offense,

728
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: outside of C. J. Spiller money not so much. All right, Well,

729
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,919
Speaker 1: let's talk about your other super sneaky play because let's

730
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: face it, you can't run the ball for I don't know,

731
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: six yards to carry and get an offensive coordinator or

732
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 1: the year award. What are you doing super sneaky to

733
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 1: guarantee you this Coach of the Week awards? Well, I said,

734
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:33,320
Speaker 1: I'm going with Dayne Bow over Stevie Johnson. He is

735
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:34,879
Speaker 1: a player that I have my eye on this year

736
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 1: because of the addition of Andy Reid and what is

737
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: going to be a pass laden offense in Kansas City.

738
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: Alex Smith is a major upgrade over the mess they

739
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: had a quarterback last year. And Bow is going to

740
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: be motivated. He didn't have a good year in two

741
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,879
Speaker 1: thousand and twelve. I expect him to get back over

742
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 1: a thousand yards, score right around the neighborhood eight touchdowns,

743
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: and he'll start things this week against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

744
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you for those of you that have

745
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: not drafted yet, and I'm guess and you're gonna concur

746
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: with me on this fabs Duane Bow and the quarterbacks

747
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 1: that he has been playing with his entire career. Some

748
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 1: of them are sub fifty percent completion rate. When you

749
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 1: at Alex Smith and a guy that is regularly in

750
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: the mid sixties and the passing game, how granted, Alex

751
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 1: but doesn't really drive the ball down field as much

752
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:19,479
Speaker 1: as you like for someone with the talent that Dwyane

753
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: Bow has. But his fantasy stock should be so much

754
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 1: higher than it is right now where we're seeing him

755
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 1: get drafted. And Matt Castle was inconsistent, turnover prone. You

756
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 1: want to talk about Tyler Palco it was a Brady

757
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 1: Quinn throwing him the football. Next year it was a mess. Yeah,

758
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: So this is the year. This is the year of

759
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 1: Dwyane Bow. If you have not drafted yet, be sure

760
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 1: to check him out and give him around, give him

761
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: around fabs. For those that haven't drafted Wayne Bow six

762
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: or seven Max, you can get him as a three.

763
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: I'll tell you something right now, you're stealing. There we

764
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 1: go coming up. If your fantasy defenses opening matchup has

765
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: you scoop, we have got just what you need. Our

766
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,439
Speaker 1: defensive spots starts of the week are here for your

767
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: waiver hunting pleasure. Do not go away. Well. It is

768
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: the forgotten position of fantasy football. Does not mean you

769
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 1: shouldn't have a game plan for your defense. Bar we

770
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: know what the top defenses are going to be. But

771
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 1: but help explain to the kids looking for a defense

772
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: that's about to take the next step what it is

773
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 1: they're looking for. Well, here's the deal. When you're looking

774
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:15,839
Speaker 1: for that defense that you want to add in there

775
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: that you haven't drafted, you want to look for defense

776
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 1: that can get after the ball. They can get sacks,

777
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,359
Speaker 1: get pick six and I mean you want guys who

778
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 1: are ball hawkers, Guys who have that secondary and that

779
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: upfront guys you cannot miss that up front because those

780
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: guys get sacks at points. Of course, it always comes

781
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 1: down to the matchups, Adam, and perhaps no greater matchup

782
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 1: defense to play this week than the one in Tampa.

783
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 1: Then the Jets. Yeah, you're looking for a teams that

784
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 1: are going up against weak defense as we did this

785
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 1: last year. You know, you look at the Jets, not

786
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 1: a great offense. They got Geno Smith and not a

787
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: lot else like who who just name the guy? I

788
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: can't even name who the receivers are. Actually I can,

789
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: but I'm trying to prove a point. The point is

790
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: this is a great matchup. You pick up the Tampa

791
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers this week, they will score a lot of points,

792
00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 1: they will force a lot of turnovers. And last year,

793
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: this is a strategy that I employed, Grace. I'm sorry.

794
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna bring up the fact that I picked

795
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,879
Speaker 1: up the Titans last year going up against the Jets

796
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 1: and I beat you in the fantasy playoffs. I won't

797
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: do that. Yeah, I'm not gonna. I'll tell you one

798
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 1: guys that I like. I like the Detroit lines. And

799
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:20,280
Speaker 1: here's why. I know. They're going against the episode of Vikings.

800
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 1: And everybody thinks that, oh, Adrian Peterson, this is a

801
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: bad pick. No, no, it's not a bad pick. It's

802
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: a very good thing. In fact, last season, if you

803
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:29,399
Speaker 1: look at it, Agrian Peterson only had a hundred yards

804
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 1: no touchdowns against the Detroit lines. They have the ability

805
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 1: to get after the quarterback. They've got Nick Fairley and

806
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,479
Speaker 1: the Dominican suit in the middle. That's a bona fide

807
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 1: interior line. And then they've added the guy that they

808
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 1: drafted from b y U ziggy Ansa. He's gonna be

809
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:45,840
Speaker 1: able to get after Christian Ponder because he's gonna be

810
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: trying to fix that time with him and Greg Jennings.

811
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 1: I love this defense to get interception in sects. That's

812
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 1: points points points. I'm glad you brought that up because

813
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: that is the formula I will be following with the

814
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 1: matchup this week, and that is the Browns versus the

815
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: Dolphins and upgraded Brown's defensive ross. They're unfortunately Barkbious Mingo,

816
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: who I love they drafted him in the first round,

817
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 1: will not be around for this one. They still have enough.

818
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 1: That is one of the worst offensive lines in the NFL.

819
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 1: Or the Miami Dolphins, they will get sacks. They have

820
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 1: one of the best secondaries. Joe Hayden is a ball

821
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,280
Speaker 1: hawking machine. I suspect he'll have at least an interception.

822
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 1: This is a great matchup defense to be played this

823
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 1: week against the Dolphins. You know what else? You know?

824
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: And people will look at the Browns and not gate

825
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: that that's a good defense. People will look at the

826
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 1: Cardinals and they will say, you know what, that's something

827
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 1: good defense either, But that's completely erroneous. The Cardinals are

828
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 1: a good defense to pick up and play, especially in fantasy.

829
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,839
Speaker 1: One of the things that you can't underestimate. Everybody knows

830
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:39,879
Speaker 1: about sacks and turnovers and everything, but realize return game

831
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,760
Speaker 1: is a huge part of it. Patrick Peterson is involved,

832
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: Hiron Matthew is gonna be a don't forget about him exactly.

833
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 1: They've got playmakers and you look at guys who can

834
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: turn and pick sixes and things like that. That makes

835
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals a high ceiling defense. Great matchup this

836
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 1: week against St. Louis another one you can go out

837
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 1: and grap. Yeah, and remarkable to when we looked at

838
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: the number, the low percentage ownership for the Arizona Cardinals

839
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 1: because of what you just said, it is one of

840
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: the best return games out there. With Patrick Peterson and

841
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna mix in Tyrone Matthew that is going to

842
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 1: be a deadly, absolutely deadly, no question about it. All Right,

843
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:15,400
Speaker 1: let's get to the Colts because again, this isn't so

844
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,720
Speaker 1: much the Colts defense. It was one of the worst defenses,

845
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 1: especially against the run in the league last year. But

846
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 1: the Raiders, and I cannot make this point enough. I

847
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 1: am not a Torrell Prior guy. He does not throw

848
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 1: the ball well. That offensive line is an absolute mess,

849
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 1: and I suspect much like the Colts of old when

850
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,439
Speaker 1: Peyton Manny would stake him to a fourteen point lead.

851
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 1: Pin your ears back and get after that quarterback and

852
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 1: start piling up the sea, you know. And that's what

853
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 1: Greg Monsky's is doing. And you know, and I'll mention this.

854
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: You know, I had him when I was with the

855
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: San Diego Charges, and I know his philosophy. He's from

856
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: that same mold of Wade Phillips is get after the quarterback,

857
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: keep it simple. These guys now know this defense. I

858
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 1: think that they're going to get after this Raiders well.

859
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 1: And that's the key too, is when you talk about

860
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 1: a passing offense, they can put up points quickly with

861
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:58,839
Speaker 1: Andrew Lock and the Colts and what they're putting together there,

862
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:01,399
Speaker 1: that's where your defense begins to cash in because again

863
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: you pile up the sacks later when the team is

864
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 1: forced to play catch up, and the opportunity for turnovers

865
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:09,280
Speaker 1: with a new quarterback to high ceiling, especially that quarterback.

866
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:11,759
Speaker 1: I think I think victory here rank when you have

867
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 1: a quarterback that took a safety by stepping out of

868
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 1: the back of the end zone is your starter. You're

869
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:17,800
Speaker 1: feeling pretty good, all right? Coming up? Who should you

881
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 1: the best quarterback and wide receiver do oh to have

882
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 1: in your starting lineup? And Adam We refer to this

883
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 1: as a bromance, Yes, a little bit of a bromance.

884
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 1: I like Tom Brady and Danny Mndla. I've got this

885
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 1: in one of my leagues, actually my League of Record.

886
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 1: I like that combination. I don't really like having the

887
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:08,399
Speaker 1: number one receiver if somebody is if it's your number

888
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 1: one receiver, like Calvin Johnson and Matt Stafford, I'd rather

889
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 1: go Danny Amendola. I figure you're starting him as a

890
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: number two. If the Patriots have a bad week, or

891
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:18,720
Speaker 1: if Tom Brady ignores him a little bit, he doesn't

892
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 1: have a monster game, It's not gonna haunt me as

893
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 1: much as having the number one receiver being matched up

894
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 1: with your number one quarterback. I don't really look to

895
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 1: do that in my league's If I do end up with,

896
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 1: say Matt Ryan and Roddy White, so be it. But

897
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 1: you want to make sure those players are good. You

898
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 1: don't want to end up with a combination of I

899
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 1: know money you're gonna says Terrell Prior and more that

900
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 1: you don't want that. If I had to pick, when

901
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 1: it be the Saints, I mean, you know, just to

902
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 1: pick your receiver and Drew Brees, and chances are whether

903
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,399
Speaker 1: it's Lance Moore, Marcus Colston, or Kenny Stills, I'm fine

904
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 1: with any of those. If I'm gonna put my two

905
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:53,320
Speaker 1: sin in, I'm gonna go Calvin Johnson and Matthew Stafford

906
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 1: just because he's so dominant. He saw what he did

907
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 1: last year plus yards. That's a lot of the yards

908
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:00,800
Speaker 1: I mean, So I'm gonna go with the big fellow

909
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 1: Johnson and Stafford. High rest, high reward. If you get

910
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 1: the double points. We're all a fan of it, right,

911
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 1: Who should we start in Week one? Tom bradyer Andrew Luck?

912
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 1: Bars this one no brainer? Well, you know what, when

913
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 1: you look at it, they both have really good matchups.

914
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:14,880
Speaker 1: You have Tom Brady going up against the Bills, and

915
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 1: then you have of course Andrew Luck going against the

916
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 1: Oakland Raiders, So that means it's a tie. Really, so

917
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 1: tie goes to the better in this case, I'm gonna

918
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: go with Tom Brady. I like what tom Brady has.

919
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 1: Of course you just talked about it, Adam, I mean

920
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,760
Speaker 1: his connection with Danny Amendola. And again they have Steven

921
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 1: really too, so they've got a solid run game. I

922
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 1: like this combo. Excuse me? I like tom Brady over

923
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 1: and read the screen. Fifty one career pass touchdowns most

924
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 1: versus any team. It's the Bills. They're terrible and tom

925
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:42,880
Speaker 1: Brady will dominate them once again, and he will dominate

926
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 1: the whole AFC. A new coach too, and a good start.

927
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 1: He's just not as good as tom Brady. Alright, moving

928
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,359
Speaker 1: on here, should I start Steven Jackson or Reggie Bush?

929
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 1: Some old faces and new places? Well, I mean the

930
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 1: Saints Falcons game is gonna be bananas. You know, you're

931
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 1: talking about a forty five points probably to the winner.

932
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:03,360
Speaker 1: So I would start Stephen Jackson. As much as I

933
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 1: like Reggie Bush on the way he fits into that

934
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: offense against the Vikings team that's down a key defender

935
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 1: and Kevin Williams, I still go Steven Jackson. Allay stat

936
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 1: about Steven Jackson. You see it right now. Six touchdowns

937
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 1: in his last five games against the Saints. The Saints

938
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 1: gave up a boatload of fantasy points. It's a running backs, quarterbacks,

939
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:22,359
Speaker 1: wide receivers, all of them. Last year, Rob Ryan's in there.

940
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,240
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna make that much of a difference.

941
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 1: Start Steven Jackson. Let me remind you that the Detroit

942
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,799
Speaker 1: Lions through the ball for almost nine nine times. I mean,

943
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 1: of course they really threw it six hundred times plus times.

944
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 1: But when you look at this offense, they have to

945
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:37,840
Speaker 1: get the ball to Reggie Bush. They've always dreamed of

946
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,720
Speaker 1: having a running back like this in this offense because

947
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 1: they are past happy, they're gonna throw it lay more

948
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 1: than they're gonna run it. So when I look at

949
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 1: Reggie Push, he's got a lot of fantasy value, especially

950
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,919
Speaker 1: when you look at PPR leagues. He's gonna be plus there.

951
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:53,400
Speaker 1: And then of course as a runner, he's electric. Alright,

952
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 1: this next one here, should I start Tory Smith or

953
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 1: Pierre Garsone fens anything concern that h r G three

954
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 1: might not make it to of the season and Tory Smith.

955
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:03,959
Speaker 1: You know what, I actually like Tory Smith overall this season.

956
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 1: He's gonna have a thousand yards his third NFL season.

957
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 1: I like Pierre Garson this week. That looks like a major,

958
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,800
Speaker 1: major matchup there for the Philadelphia Eagles. They're gonna have

959
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 1: trouble stop in Pierre Garson and that speed. He's a

960
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 1: hund percent healthy from that foot injury that hampered him

961
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:21,360
Speaker 1: last year. R G three is back. Garson is a

962
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 1: good start. That's who RJ was looking for all last year.

963
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:26,360
Speaker 1: He kept going to Pierre Garson. Here he is burning

964
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. He's gonna do it this week the Eagles

965
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 1: as well. You're talking about more plays. And I like

966
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 1: to call him Pierre Garcon because I don't know, I

967
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 1: don't acknowledge the sad deal or whatever that. I'll tell

968
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 1: you one other thing he does well when you watch

969
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 1: him on tape. I like the fact that he knows

970
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:43,359
Speaker 1: how to get open in the middle. That's a very

971
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 1: hard craft for why receivers to understand what covers they're

972
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:47,839
Speaker 1: in and find out where the opening it. I saw

973
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 1: a guy like that, Randy Moss do do really well

974
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 1: doing that. Pierre Garson is that same type of play.

975
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 1: It's just not the same type of player. That's the

976
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:57,919
Speaker 1: same type of the last one. And if you're trying

977
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:00,120
Speaker 1: to get points from a tight end, Owen Daniels or

978
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 1: Jordan Cameron, I'm going Owen Daniels. It's close, but the

979
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:05,759
Speaker 1: Chargers traditionally give up a lot of fantasy points at

980
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:07,919
Speaker 1: tight ends. I'm gonna go with Jordan Cameron. I really

981
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:09,320
Speaker 1: like what he's going to be able to do this

982
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 1: year with the Browns offense. He's gonna be a he's

983
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 1: gonna be a monster right from the right from the

984
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 1: get go. Two good matchups, But I go Daniels against

985
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,279
Speaker 1: the Chargers, and I'm gonna go back to Jordan Camera.

986
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 1: All right, we are at a time. You're joining us.

987
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:25,239
Speaker 1: I'm going Garsona. I had a dog, Dame Garsona. I'm

988
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 1: still back on that one. All right. You ever wanted
